    Takata recall. I received recall notice 16s26 in july, 2017 and nothing has been done about it. I've talked to the dealership several times and customer relations a couple of times. The answer is always the same: the parts are not available. I say not enough effort is being made to secure them. They have exceeded any reasonable time frame to fix a potentially lethal defect. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted…

    Takata recall: recall for passenger side. Received recall letter in july, latest estimate to replace defective part is june, or six months of limited use of our primary vehicle. #2 car is not dependable and with poor mileage. We can not go anywhere as a family unless we rent a car . In short this is costing us money. What can we do to get our fusion fixed, so it will be safe?

    Takata recall two months ago, i received recall notice indicating inflation of the passenger side airbag could cause severe injury or death. Neither ford nor nhtsa have acted in a responsible manner in that ford is still waiting for parts and cannot estimate when parts will be available. Considering inflation can cause "serious injury or death", there is no honest guidance by either ford nor nhtsa other than keep…
